By Charles Starrett ● Tuesday, February 5, 2008

MediaFour has announced the release of XPlay 3, the latest version of its iPod utility software for Windows. Announced in November, XPlay 3 offers many new features and improvements, including the ability to copy music, playlists, pictures and video to and from an iPod, the ability to use an iPod with Windows Explorer, Media Player and Media Center, lost song recovery, automatic conversion of unprotected WMA files, and the ability to auto-sync music and pictures from Windows Media Player. Also, XPlay 3 works with both Mac and Windows iPods, and allows Mac iPods to work with iTunes for Windows. XPlay 3 is available now and runs $30 for a single license, or $40 for a two computer license. Previous owners of XPlay can upgrade to the new version for $15 ($25 for 2-pack upgrade).

Says it isn’t compatible with the iPod touch or the iPhone. If it’s compatible with the classic,this may be a nice alternative to those who wish anapod worked…

According to their website, you can download a full-featured, 15-day trial version.

I’m definitely interested in an alternative. After installing iTunes 7.6 and finding yet another new process running in the background, I’m beginning to think it’s time for Apple to release a less bloated, streamlined version of iTunes for those of us who just want to manage our music.
